Electric Car - Explained

How do electric cars work? What is an electric car? Electric cars use electric motors to power the vehicle, rather than an internal combustion engine. The result is a vehicle that produces no emissions, requires little maintenance, and is extremely cheap to recharge. With advances in lithium ion batteries, electric cars are becoming more and more popular.

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!

Eight years later and this is still a brilliant video. Absolutely incredible man. Keep up the good work, this was an informative video that clearly outline this topic

[EngineeringExplained]

There is still plenty of processing and refining, shipping, etc.. involved with the production of gasoline/diesel fuel. There are added costs on both ends.

[EngineeringExplained]

Yes, absolutely, which means less brake wear too!

[kabolobaribenakole]

I just look forward to your videos and gotta say you're doing an excellent job at this! Thanks!

[EngineeringExplained]

How to install coilovers, adjust coilovers, and adjust coilover pre-load come October! Some others as well. And as I get more parts I'll make more how-tos!

[LachlanKelly]

Can you please do a video on Hydrogen cars? Also great videos, keep up the good work!

[lelsqueks]

I love your videos. I'm writing an article about electric cars for kids, and struggled to find usable information til I found your channel. Thank you sir

[carlossantillana]

Thanks for another great video, I learn so much from this channel!

[katrinabrandau]

Nice!! I've watched like 10 videos and yours was by far the best. :D

Could you explain how the one-speed reduction gear in the BMW i3 works please?

[EngineeringExplained]

Check out my "pushrod" video I go into it briefly. They're fairly straight forward so this should help out.

[JoeGo]

Awesome video man! :D Your better than a college degree :D and a much better deal :)

[FreezingBlazeHD]

Hey man your videos are really helpful. could you please explain how trans brake work?
I've always wondered how to spool up a turbo on an automatic while at a full stop.

[tenelord]

Never heard anyone talk about some of the good things you listed. Makes me start to like electric cars. Thanks for the video!

I'm enjoying your electric series. I would appreciate a more detailed look at different types of motors, like steppers, servos and brushless ones. 

[EngineeringExplained]

The alternators would act as brakes, slowing the car down. This is essentially how regenerative braking works, I'll have videos soon!

[EngineeringExplained]

Well cold would certainly affect the battery, but if it had a heating coil to run the heat, it shouldn't have any problem providing hot air. It'd actually be quicker than an ICE heating up - but this energy affects battery life in an electric car, where as it doesn't really affect anything for ICE.

how does DC/AC brake? thank you very much!!!

[eduhbas]

Your videos are great..I hope you make a video explaining HHO Systems..you already explained MAP/MAF and lambda (O2) sensors.

Would charge time in the UK be faster as we use 240v power ?
